Becoming a God at Level 100, Starting from Hunter x Hunter

Luo Lin excitedly ran through the underground tunnel.

Earlier, when he hadn’t started moving, Luo Lin could feel his body was full of vitality.

But after starting to run, he finally realized how remarkable his upgraded physical abilities truly were.

He had never experienced running so effortlessly.

Vitality clearly, it referred to the strength of life.

Strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance, and every other aspect of physical fitness seemed to be included in it.

And perhaps due to the corresponding increase in his spiritual power, despite his greatly enhanced physical capabilities, Luo Lin didn’t feel out of control at all.

On the contrary, Luo Lin felt as though he had never had such complete mastery over his body.

Now, it seemed he could easily control his body to perform any action that didn’t violate its structural limits.

He could even faintly perceive the beating of his heart, the flow of blood, the contraction and expansion of muscles, the rhythm of his breathing—any internal changes.

“Unbelievable!”

Luo Lin looked at the level 1 icon on his system panel and the system’s name, [Level 100 God System].

If he could reach level 100, Luo Lin felt he might truly become a god.

Luo Lin was filled with excitement.

Even running in flip-flops, his improved physical condition barely affected his speed.

In less than two minutes, Luo Lin had easily caught up with the main group, following at the back without attracting anyone’s attention.

From start to finish, not a single candidate noticed Luo Lin, who had fallen behind earlier and then caught up again.

Once Luo Lin rejoined the main group, he slowed his pace.

He had no interest in rushing to the front to stand out.

He knew very well that there was still a long road ahead.

Rather than drawing attention by racing to the front, it was better to hang back and leisurely study his system panel.

Especially the methods for gaining experience and the efficiency of acquiring it.

Luo Lin glanced at the requirement of 1000 experience points to level up again and silently prayed that the rate of experience gain wouldn’t change.

However…

Thirty minutes later, Luo Lin looked at his system panel, still showing zero experience, and sighed.

His hopes were dashed.

At level 0, he had gained one point of experience after running just two or three kilometers.

But now…

After running for thirty minutes—at least five kilometers—there had been no change in his experience.

An hour later, when Luo Lin estimated he had run nearly ten kilometers, his system panel finally showed movement: his experience had jumped from 0 to 1.

“So, I have to run ten kilometers just to gain one experience point!”

Luo Lin’s face twisted in frustration.

To reach level 2, he needed 1000 experience points.

That was equivalent to 10,000 kilometers!

Even though other forms of exercise might also yield experience, Luo Lin could already envision himself becoming a training maniac.

“I hope I can level up by fighting monsters!”

Luo Lin sighed lightly and kept his head down, continuing to run with the other Hunter candidates.

An hour passed… two hours…

Before he knew it, four hours had gone by, and Luo Lin had run over 50 kilometers behind the main group.

It’s worth mentioning that no candidate had dropped out yet.

Even after 50 kilometers, none of them had reached their limits.

Of course, that didn’t include Leorio, who was panting heavily beside Luo Lin.

Although Luo Lin knew from the anime that Leorio was only 18 or 19 years old, seeing him up close, he still felt that Leorio looked like a man in his 30s or 40s.

“Maybe it’s a kind of talent—to hit physical peak while still going through rapid growth…”

Luo Lin couldn’t help but mentally tease.

“How much longer do we have to run?”

Leorio asked in disbelief as he looked at the Hunter candidates ahead, who showed no signs of slowing down.

After four or five hours of continuous running, covering 50 kilometers, Leorio was drenched in sweat.

Forget 50 kilometers—Leorio had never run 30 kilometers in his life.

What made it worse was that none of the other candidates showed the same exhaustion as him.

“Monsters, they’re all monsters!”

Leorio had reached his limit.

“The Hunter Exam isn’t something an ordinary person like me can handle!”

Leorio’s steps began to falter.

However…

“Like hell—”

With a sudden roar, veins bulged on Leorio’s forehead.

He abandoned his briefcase, surged forward, and sprinted crazily.

Luo Lin, quick-eyed and fast, immediately stepped forward and picked up Leorio’s briefcase.

Though he didn’t plan to join the main character group, the people in it seemed like good candidates for friendship.

Plus, with the filter of the original work in place, Luo Lin certainly wasn’t going to pass up the chance to strike up a conversation.

Carrying Leorio’s briefcase, Luo Lin slightly increased his speed and caught up to Leorio.

“Hey, old man, you dropped your bag!”

Luo Lin grinned as he extended the bag to Leorio.

A vein throbbed on Leorio’s forehead.

Although he was grateful that someone had returned his bag, his age… was a sore point.

Especially when a youth, clearly in his twenties, called him an old man.

“Damn it! Who are you calling an old man? I’m only 18!”

Leorio shouted in anger.

“Yeah, right!”

Luo Lin retorted without hesitation.

“Haha, I told you there’s no way this old man is only in his teens,”

Killua said with a mocking smile, jogging over with his silver hair bouncing.

“You brats!”

Leorio became even more furious.

“Brother, let me take Leorio’s bag,”

Gon said with a smile, running up beside Luo Lin.

“Here!”

Luo Lin didn’t hesitate and handed the bag to Gon, while curiously giving both Gon and Killua a glance.

So, these were the protagonists of the early parts of this world!

Honestly, many people in his previous life didn’t like Gon because of the Chimera Ant arc, but Luo Lin didn’t mind either way.

After all, Kite, who was like a brother and father figure, was in danger of life or death.

Even adults would struggle to stay rational under those circumstances, let alone a kid.

Of course, the biggest reason was… that this brat wasn’t going to cause any trouble for Luo Lin personally.

As for the other, Killua…

He was definitely the fan favorite back on Earth, more likable than Gon, though harder to approach.

Having just escaped from the Zoldyck family, Killua was undoubtedly at his most guarded stage—not everyone was as simple as Gon.

However, Luo Lin had no plans to get close to these two brats just yet.

On the contrary, he found Leorio, with his “uncle” face, more appealing as a potential friend.

“Hey, old man, dressed in that formal suit with leather shoes, are you really here for the Hunter Exam?”

Luo Lin ran up beside Leorio with a teasing smile.

Leorio’s mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at Luo Lin, who was clearly dressed in pajamas and running in flip-flops with a ‘slap, slap’ sound, Leorio was speechless.

“Of all people, you’re the last one who should say that!”

“Hehe, but at least I can still run!”

Luo Lin chuckled, his flip-flops slapping as he ran ahead of Leorio.

“Damn it—”

Watching a pair of flip-flops ahead of him, Leorio’s frustration flared up again.

But despite his anger, Leorio did take Luo Lin’s words to heart.

Although he couldn’t change out of his leather shoes, Leorio wasted no time stripping off his suit and shirt, tying them around his waist, and continued running with his bare chest exposed.
